 today I noticed I wrote something on Facebook that didn't really receive to much recognition , like what I am trying to say is it started out as a post that turned into a blog.. actually I  made two blogs , one about a car wash I just went to in Palm Springs . The other I wrote about a experience I had  at the pool ( my last blog on here) . Well it seems Facebook or Instagram don't really tell you a view count or for that matter , the two applications simply aren't made for blogging . one of the blog's actually got more recognition the the other one . the one I wrote about losing my keys at the pool didn't get any reaction ( like how many folk's actually saw it)? FB doesn't seem to tell you unless it's something i am missing over there? Maybe that's why I am over here. It's far more user friendly and also gives you a view count. Recognition ? not sure I need it? . Meaning it's hard to decipher what application is best to use? well, quickly twitter maybe quick thoughts you randomly have, or sometimes I think out my tweets ( it's a very complex program for sure) or flick is a a great site for photography . Facebook who knows ? maybe for family pics and quick shares. Instagram is really cool , however that's like almost like Flick but not for multiple pics . more for one or two pics. and then theirs tic-toc , well that sites almost like you tube , but for shorter clips ..other applications I use maybe Pinterest (not too much) it's just sometimes all the applications gets overwhelming . Not that they are not good applications .. just get caught up on other sites .. so many to choose from it seems.so the reason I am writing this well I think I will be more over here than Facebook or Instagram for my blogs . again sometimes my posts turn into blogs by accident . so maybe I can copy and paste them over here or vice- versa. well maybe will give you  a link to my Facebook account over here so i may get more recognition the picture I just found here at the library .. someone wanted to be my friend on Facebook ( she wasn't for me - spam or whatever ) so she had a nice pic I got . kind of tricky to get a picture from a public library like where I am now . onto a  computer ( when you don't have your own personal computer) like me right now .. everything is over the smart phone  right now.     oh so those two blogs I wrote on FB , let me give everyone  a link to my FB account .. feel free to send me a FB request …thanks for reading

Palm Springs open pool that rocks!

 here I am at the library again . so why not write another blog , well I went to Palm Springs a few weeks back .. my third time this year … just love it out their... less traffic , population and overall stress . Grew up in the northeast … so I find the desert kind of the opposite of where I grew up.. love the atmosphere , tranquility of it and peace and quiet  of it .. less population than Los Angeles county and Orange county by a lot . Meaning like 500,000 (half a million) vs. 42,000 , I notice a difference immediately ..anyway made it out 3 times this season .. that be Nov, Feb and April kind of liked April the best just because of the longer days and the weather just being just perfect , not too hot or to cold, you know like not to excessive.  and I stayed a extra night ( vs. usually only staying 1 evening) used to work for a transportation company in like 2003 or something like that … remember spotting a pool out that way .. like to swim and have taken up swimming like 10 months ago.so when I was out their called the palm springs visitor center ( they are great , answer to any question you may have about the Palm Springs area). so I found it , had a extra day their so I was able to more things , just did not have to rush as much. anyway the pool was just exquisite although I had to pay a extra fee for being  a non- resident of Palm Springs. anyway enjoyed my swim , although I really didn't stay too long their.. enjoyed the depth of the pool immensely . vs not as deep at the health clubs I usually go too , meaning had the option of diving deeper in the water it was like 12 ft. or more.in the Los Angeles / Orange county area don't really find deep pools like that .. oh and I stopped at the health club in Riverside .. just because it's a little break . about half way to Palm Springs from where I currently reside. Anyway will be back to this pool I really enjoyed it. and probably not till after Labor day .. if I don' t get there before Memorial day , that's


when it slows down out their .. except the Europeans come their in the summer months . according to the lady at the Palm Springs visitor center ..OK let's see if I can figure this thing out , about getting pics on here .. I have to go on my phone and send them in a e-mail.  that's all for now thanks for reading .. and go to Palm Springs , leave me a comment if you have any questions about where to eat or stay. thanks for reading! Never mind the kiss picture I am having trouble as I mentioned syncing the photos from my camera on here.. will figure it out eventually bear with me everyone!

Library- what I am doing.


 Ok well I am between a rock and a hard place, so to speak, don't have a desktop or laptop  at the moment so I happen to be at a public library doing this particular blog.. have a smartphone , however I have been trying to network on a phone for like 4 years .. had some hard times everyone, and lost most of my belongings .. so I have to do whatever to get by .. no camera ( well not a fancy camera , but just upgraded my phone so I can use that) don't have the creative control with a camera phone vs. a professional camera . manage too the best of my ability. find being at a public library it's hard to sync your photos on your phone with the public computer ..so after I write this may go to my mobile phone and just upload a photo .. anyway not a long blog  today, got a few things to do. just practicing ( also helps me practicing typing on a computer . as I mentioned , with a smart phone it's just not as user friendly .. got too make do I guess?'damn yankees not sure why i choose this one ?, just practicing how to upload images on here at library.. ever so complicated ...come again is my fav song by them.:)

Welcome back to blogger!

 wow it's been six years since i wrote a post or blog !, I am finding , not really finding a audience over here , meaning not to much recognition . However  when i go to post on Facebook or Instagram it's not really getting too much recognition . this social media is a real conundrum , for the most part .. hard to figure .. however I really dig it , that I can interact with my friends in my hometown I used to partied with and hang out with . some of them I haven't seen in a long time (40 + years or so) not only that I am meeting new co-workers that are significantly younger than me. they teach about their interests and music tastes .. which are quite different than mine .. however I am looking for new genres of music, tv shows , movies ( which to be honest I don't really like or have the patience to watch …that being movies or tv shows.)  tend to watch a lot of music videos  , mainly classic rock , hair bands , corny seventies and eighties songs ( ya know like love songs)also I have a few subscriptions, like folks that review  restaurants, the park I work at things like that , I also watch. anyway excited  to be back on here and maybe will share this link on some other applications.. thanks for reading .. and watch out for my blogs ….they will be coming for sure. Writing is a release for me .. its not for everyone... find I am somewhat creative and it 's a great way to express my creativity or whatever the heck I feel like writing .. it 's seems I can write just about anything.. and well my life is somewhat mundane for the most part.. i am fortunate in my own ways... have a fun job in a fun atmosphere .. and also i have a pretty reliable car that's takes me all over the place .. and I am able to get out of town and everywhere else.. my photos well I am never home to much and either on my side gig or at my stationary job .. anyway love the pic of me on this blog.. a older one , I was a bit younger will leave it for now.. anyway thanks for reading .. have to work shortly...
